Personal Profile

From each stock of the finest hardwoods, to the meticulous hand crafted construction. The Webb cue is a symbol of the determination it takes to bring your game to the next level.

My background ranges from research and development in a textile machine shop, to telephone and cable while in the army. I started in the cue business as a hobby. During a pool tournament in Providence, RI, that's when I met Mr. Paul Drexler of (PFD Cues). It was fascinating to watch him at work. Through that fascination, it caused what was going to be my obsession that still exists today. As more I watched, the more curious I became. I listened to every word he spoke and watched every thing he did. I was hooked. Something inside of me said, this is what I should be doing. I bought a Willard tip machine and started doing tips. House cues, custom cues, every tip counted saving the money for something better, (a lathe). It took a year to save up, as I didn't want to take the money out of my family budget. I wanted to earn it. Then it happened. I bought a lathe. Now, I was more curious than ever. I started buying cues (cheap ones to start). I would take them apart piece by piece. Ferrules, joints, forearms, points, handles, and the butt cap sections. I just had to find out what held the cues together. I would even take the broken cues out of the trash and try repairing them.

I started offering cue repairs at the tournaments. I was amazed at how many different kinds of cues there were. As every cue I was asked to repair, I looked at it as a challenge with an open mind. Till this day, I still do. Always saying to the customer, "How can I help" and would never charge them for something they don't need. After a couple of years, I met Jim and Dave of (SAMSARA Cues). These cues were remarkable looking. I was lucky enough to spend some time with them. Being friends with Samsara along with Paul Drexler is truly the best of both worlds. I started building my own cues. Wanting my own style and my own unique hit. Thick butts, thin butts what does the customer want. Long cues, short cues. Shafts, thick and thin. Tips, ferrules and joints. It all makes a difference.

I would like to thank the following craftsmen for expanding my knowledge of cue construction: Paul Drexler, Jeff Prather, Mark Bear, Paul Fanelli, Skip Tasker, Dan Janes, Michael Capone and Murray Tucker. Linen wraps, (Ted Harris). Finishing, Tony Scianella, Dan Dishaw, Leonard Bludworth, Joe Porper, Tim Scruggs, Mike Cochran, Paul Mottey, and New Age Auto.

My Mission statement is: "QUALITY IS NO ACCIDENT"
Which defines as:
My effort to create the best product possible. Always keeping the customer and playability of the cues in mind.

Thank you
